About the role
Polymarket is registering a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) to support its derivatives business, and this role sits at the center of that effort. You will be the senior finance leader for the FCM entity, reporting to the FCM CEO and working closely with the governing body and Audit Committee. The mandate is straightforward: keep the FCM in good financial standing with the CFTC and NFA, protect customer funds, and give leadership an accurate, timely picture of the entity's financial condition at all times.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of progressive finance, accounting, or regulatory reporting experience, with meaningful time spent inside a carrying FCM in a hands-on capacity
- Direct experience preparing or reviewing daily segregation computations, residual-interest calculations, and monthly Form 1-FR-FCM filings — not just familiarity with the concepts
- Working knowledge of CFTC financial requirements under Parts 1, 22, and 30, NFA financial requirements, and the WinJammer filing system
- Experience managing or supporting NFA and DSRO examinations and annual FCM audits, including responding to examiner inquiries and remediating findings
- Ability to own a full monthly close and produce standalone financial statements for a regulated entity, including intercompany reconciliation and balance-sheet substantiation
- Clear, direct communication with senior leadership and governing bodies on capital, liquidity, and customer-funds topics, including the ability to flag problems early and explain them plainly
